Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from FanDuel Sportsbook and PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Patrick Mahomes over 2.5 passing touchdowns and the Kansas City Chiefs to win – Boosted from +155 to +180 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Patrick Mahomes to throw for at least 3 touchdowns and the Kansas City Chiefs will need to be the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night. Mahomes is coming off a huge Week 1 winning where he threw 5 touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals. It should also be noted that the Chargers allowed Derek Carr to throw for 3 touchdowns (in a losing effort), but Carr did not even have a good game against the Chargers, also throwing 2 interceptions. In 2 games against the Chargers last season, Mahomes threw for 3 touchdowns in both meetings. Our experts would lean to a Chargers cover tonight, but the offense for the Chiefs should still be too strong and a win for Kansas City is still the most likely result. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Travis Kelce over 99.5 receiving yards and 1+ touchdowns – Boosted from +300 to +365 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need KC TE Travis Kelce to record at least 100 receiving yards and at least 1 touchdown tonight against the Chargers. Kelce had 121 receiving yards last week against the Raiders while also adding a touchdown and should be in for another huge game tonight. In 2 games against the Chargers last season, Kelce had a combined 295 receiving yards and 1 touchdown. He has owned the Chargers recently and considering they had trouble last week defending Darren Waller at times, Kelce should be a top target for Mahomes — making this prop worth a play.
Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers to Each Score 1+ rushing touchdowns & 1+ passing touchdowns – Boosted from +150 to +180 with FanDuel Sportsbook
For this prop we will need both the Chiefs and the Chargers to record at least 1 rushing touchdown and 1 passing touchdown. Considering they both have a couple of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, passing touchdowns should come without question. In fact, both Herbert and Mahomes will likely throw multiple touchdowns.
Both teams also both have solid options at running back for the second part of this prop. The Chargers have Austin Ekeler manning the backfield, and while he only had 36 yards rushing in Week 1, a bounce-back performance should be expected. The Chiefs have Clyde Edwards-Helaire in their backfield, who had just 42 yards rushing in Week 1. However, the Chiefs still scored a rushing touchdown courtesy of Isiah Pacheco. Because both teams have offensive weapons all over the field, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
